51528 was originally listed in the DB as Post 67. I then received a submission from a reliable source indicating that it was actually Post 28. I now have received another submission from another reliable source indicating that it is not Post 28 but rather Post 67 as originally mentioned.

For all of you who are monitoring TG 51528, I'd appreciate it if you would chime in with your thoughts regarding whether this is actually Post 28 or Post 67.

Do keep in mind that in various parts of the state there is consolidated dispatching, and that from time to time a talkgroup from one post might be patched to another... thus sometimes making it difficult to actually pinpoint which post's talkgroup it is. I don't know if that's happening up there. But I'd ask that the "collective" listen and give opinions as to whether it's Post 28 or Post 67.

Thanks

Mike

Apparently it's no longer affiliating with the Lake County system, which is where I used to hear it. (I don't listen to any other MARCS IP sites, only Lake County). When it did affiliate with Lake County sites, I would hear traffic from both Chardon and Ravenna posts.

Can anyone else confirm that it is indeed no longer affiliating with the Lake County sites? If it is STILL being heard on the Lake County system, then I must have changed something in my HP-1 by mistake (although this TG looks like it's still defined correctly in my fave list).

It will only "affiliate" if a unit in the area of your site is using it. It is a special OSP patch used by troopers who use the old MARCS system to talk to someone using the new MARCSIP system. You will not hear regular dispatch traffic on it. Talk groups do not affiliate, radios do.

Does anybody know why we would be getting Middlefield FD TG 19523 from the Geauga Co site on the Canton/Stark Co site using CC 773.05625 on the new MARCS-IP system? I've been hearing them now for awhile and is the only Geauga Co TG that I'm hearing on the Canton/Stark Co site.

Well OK, maybe "affiliate" is not the right word. I'm not clear on how it all works technically regarding affiliation or whatever. All I know is that when I used to hear TG 51528 off the Lake county sites, I would hear Chardon and Ravenna units, and sometimes I would hear the Chardon and Ravenna posts (dispatch) too. I can understand hearing Chardon post traffic on the Lake county system since Chardon is nearby, but Ravenna post traffic on the Lake county sites is surprising to me. Anyway, thanks for the info.

LZ: there is a rollover on i90 eb. Multiple fire crews are staging on TAC8 but most importantly to this conversation is that the OSP patch (51528) is still live in the lake county system as OSHP is on scene.

Ravenna Post routinely dispatches for OSP Chardon, so it's common to hear Chardon and Ravenna units on the same talkgroup.

I wasn't listening at that time but I did hear Ravenna post traffic later in the night, so obviously this OSP patch still occasionally "affiliates" (or whatever you call it) with Lake county's system. Thanks to all who posted info on this TG. I won't comment any further on this matter.

Does anyone know if the West Jefferson PD is using this system as well? I know they changed systems but cannot find any info on it, and the info on the page for Madison county is wrong, as they do not use that channel anymore, and I apologize early if someone has already answered this question in the thread I did a search and didn't come up with anything...thank you.

No. Back in January 2012 West Jefferson PD went to MOTOTRBO which cannot be received on any scanner. Also see DSD.
